We're dividing 712821 by 38 
We want to divide 712821 by 38.

Going ahead to step 1:
38 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 71 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 71 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 38 away from 71, we end up with 33.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 332 / 38

Moving on to step 3:
The number 38 fits into 332 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 304 away from 332, we end up with 28.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 288 / 38

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 288 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 187.0
If we take 266 away from 288, we end up with 22.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 222 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
38 can be fit into 222 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1875.0
If we subtract 190 from 222, we get 32.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 321 / 38

Step 6:
38 goes into 321 8 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18758.0
Subtracting 304 from 321 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
170 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18758.4
Subtract 152 from 170 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 180 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18758.44
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 152 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 18758.44 with a remaining 0.028.
